ESG at RINA: Environmental
We have launched a series of environmental initiatives
- Renewable energy: about 79% of our electricity supply comes from renewable energy sources. Our goal is to acquire energy from renewable sources only, wherever available, by the end of 2023. In 2022, about 1,600 tons of CO2 were saved in globally by purchasing energy from renewable sources;
- Thanks to Home Working, 758 tons of CO2 emissions were saved as a result of reductions in commuting (this result includes domestic workplace related emissions);
- Projects: we contribute to afforestation and carbon capture projects;
- Greener vehicles: we are renewing our fleet of company vehicles thanks to the progressive insertion of hybrid / electric cars.
- Plastic free: we aim at completing the plastic-free project launched in 2019 to eliminate single-use plastic within our sites, which includes the installation of filtered water fountains, the provision of reusable water bottles to employees and the elimination of plastic bottles from vending machines;
- Paperless offices: one of our main goals is to reduce paper usage in all our offices worldwide;
- RINA Carbon Neutral 2023: we are committed to neutralize our carbon footprint by the end of 2023 thanks to a set of carbon reduction initiatives, and the acquisition of carbon credits for offsetting;
- Ogyre and RINA together to clean the oceans of plastic: we started a collaboration with Ogyre, the first global platform for the recovery of waste from the oceans, which led to a project that contributes to the ultimate aim of ending marine pollution. We have set ourselves the goal of collecting around 1,350 kilos of waste, equivalent to 135,000 bottles.
